Everyone is trapped in what they've got! I think though most people probably could move as long as they're moving between areas with different prices. I.E London to Glasgow could be fine, the other way not so much.
The problem is just finding them. People can't find the homes to move too.
The answer to this is surely a massive building program but there is a vested interest from the Government to keep prices level or slowly increasing. The Government would literally rather pay people a subsidy to ensure demand doesn't collapse than address the constrained supply and risk people seeing their home values fall.
